FRENCH GEMS AT AUCTION
Philadelphia Record.

Our American bonanza princesseS
will soon have 4 rare opportunity Of
adorning themselves with the gems
of ROYALTY. On the 18th of May
next the French Government will
sell at public auction in the Palace
Of the Tuileries all the French crown
Jewels. The French republic has
no need for such baubles, and pro.
poses to convert them into solid cash
for the benefit of the public treasury.
There are not less than Corty-eight
lots of diamonds, pearls, sapphires,
rub,es. emeralds, garnetS and other
prescious stones to be brought under
the auctioneer's hammer. 1t is estI-
mated that the value of these treas
ures Of deposed and defunct royalty
cannot be less than $4,5OO,OOO.
Many of the gems have historic as
sociations that give them values far
bevond their intrinsic worth.
In the list are the Mazarin dia-
monds, given by a wealthy and am
bilious Prince of the Church to q
youthful king. Buyers will have an
opportunity to purchase necklaces
Of pearls worn by Catherine de Me
deci, and girdles Of diamonds that
adorned the waist of Margaret Of
Valois. Marie Antoinette's famous
necklace is not in the catalogue, for
that was returned to the jeweler.
But there is in the collection the
celebrated Regent diamond, which
was bought by the Regent Duke of
Orleans from the English Governor
of Madras for 100000 when France
was floating on that tide of flat
money created by the magical finan-
ciering of John Law. This diamond
afterward adorned the hilt of the
sword worn by Napoleon l on great
occasions of State. Then there is
the girdle worn but once by the En-
press Eugene, and estimated to be
worth $4,000. An effort was made
by the Bonapartists to save this
gem. bat it has no sentimental inter
est to the men of the Republic and
it must 90 under the hammer along
with the rest. Another girdle of the
Empress Eugenie is valued at $54,-
600. Doubtless some admirers Of
the defunct empire will give for
these relies quite as much as they
are worth.

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.

The Rev. Jonathan Crossett, who
for seventeen years has been mis-
sionary in China, says that one sec
ton of China is still untouched by
the missionaries-the Mongols llv-
ing on the north and West. The
Mongols go down to Lassa in Thibet
as a Mecca, and evidence can be
found among them of the teachings
of the early Christians. They are
the most tenacious as to their re-
ligion of any people whom he had
ever met. Their deity is called
Rorham, or @light," and their belief
-Lamaism-is founded upon tenets
held by all Cristians. They observe
one day in every seven, and although
they worship idols they have ten
commandments similar to the Bibli-
cal commandments, and their system
of morals is very high.

SEWING MACHINE MoToR.-A
Washington special says: A patent
has been issued to two Philadelphia
men for running sewing machines.
The apparatus covered by the patent
is claimed to be reliable substitute
for foot power, which does away
with the laborious and fatigulng
treadle. The motive power is sup
Piled by ordinary clock springs,
arranged so as to run the motor witn
any speed desired by simply bearing
the foot on rest. BY winding the
spring sufficient power is obtained
to run a sewing machine several
hours. The noiselessness and
smoothness of its working, and the
ease with which the speed can be
regulated and controlled are pecn
liarly favorable features Of this use
ful invention.

UNREASONING ZEALOTS AND
THE RUM REFORM.
Rev. John snyder, in the FORUM.

Rev. John Snyder, in the Forum.
A sensitive and infamed con-
science is not always or often the
safest guide in determining what
shall be the character and course of
social reforms. 1t too frequently
finds its moral satisfaction in hasty,
immature, if not violent activities.
1t is not a grateful task. and GER
tainly not popular one, to under
estimate, even in seeming, the awful
evils of the drink habit. They are
sufficiently enormous to command
for their extirpation the utmost en-
ergy and wisdom of every lover OF
his country and his kind. But have
they so far outstripped in growth
and power the wholesome forces OF
Christian civilization that these
forces must be practically abandoned
for legal measure which seeks to
curb the license of the vicious by
destroying the rational liberty of
the virtuous? Surely not. Such a
confession would impeach Christi
anity itself. 1t would, moreover,
defeat the end it had in view. The
belief that rum was slowly but sure
| drowning out the manhood OF the
race would stimulate few conscien-
tous reformers to superhuman effort,
but it would depress the great mul-
titude of men and women whose best
encouragement would be the memory
of half q century of defeats.

HOW GOLD is EXPORTED.
Something of Interest and New to Many
Readers.

ReaQerS.
Boston Commercial Bulletin.
Each keg contains $4,000 in
clear gold. 1t is from the Bank of
America, at New York, that most
of the gold is shipped from that
city. The foreign steamships sail
ing from this city now carry little
or no gold. although the reverse was
the case years ago. The shipments
of gold are not generally on the
banks account. At first glance
persons might we'll suppose that
when the demand arises for gold to
send abroad the shipper would only
have to send in his order for his
hundreds Of thousands to the Sub
Treasury, where millions of specie
are on deposit. But there are suffi-
cient reasons why this plan will not
work. The Sub Treasury can pay
out it's coin only to creditors of the
Government. With the Bank Of
America the associated banks keep
or deposit constantly an enormous
sum of gold, sometimes amounting
to $40,000,000. To the members of
the bank association the Bank OF
America issues its own certificates
against these deposits redeemable on
demand. So, when there is occasion
for making a gold shipment, the
coin is prepared for that purpose in
the rear office of that bank; here it
is bagged and kegged and made
ready for shipment. Kegs in which
gold is packe6-specie kegs, as they
are called-are made of extra hard
wood. They must have an extra
iron hoop. Specie is not thrown
loosely into a keg, nor, upon the
other hand, is it carefully wrapped
in tissue paper and piled one coin
upon another. The keg serves only
as protection for canvas bags, into
which the gold is placed in the or
dinary hit and-miss fashion of pen
nies into mans pocket. Into each
BAG goes $4,000, and ten bags fill a
keg. In the interest of security
each keg is treated to what is tech
nically known among the shippers
as the red -taping process. At each
end of the keg, in the projecting
rim of the slaves above the head,
are bored four holes at equidis,ant
intervals. a piece of red tape is
run through these holes, crossing on
the head of the keg, and the ends
finally meet in the center. At the
point of meeting the tape is sealed
to the kegs head by wax bearing
the stamp of the shipper. Gold
crosses the ocean very much as
does every other kind of freight,
without any special looking after.
The average rate of insurance is
about $4,000 on shipment Of 81
100000. There are shippers who
do not insure. Having to ship Sl,-
100000, they give it in equal parts
to half dozen different vessels. 1t
is a strict rule with some'firms never
to trust more than $250,000 at
time on any one ship. A certain
party furnishes al the kegs for gold
and packs them. The man who does
this is a monopolist in his way.
Shippers of large amounts always
lose a few dollars by abrasion, but
not exceeding sixteen ounces on a
million. dollar shipment The only
protection to be found against abra-
sion lies in the shipment of gold in
bars instead of coin. Gold bars are
not readily obtained.

WOMAN VS.. LADY.
A PLEA FOR A SENSIBLE AND
HONORED TITLE.
Abuse and Misuse Of the Term Lady
That Grows WearisOme--Another
Word 70 be Tabooed.
Philadelphia Record.


Some time ago Notes and Queries
printed a short article on the sub
ject of the peculiar sensitiveness of
women to being called "women." To
point the moral the writer cited an
instance where gentleman had
knocked a cabman down for insult
inc his wife. The insult consisted
in applying to her an opprobrious
epithet; in short, he had referred to
her as woman. Another case
noted was the newspaper account of
the marriage of a butcher, in which
the polite reporter was made to say
that the LADY whom Mr.. So-and-So
married was bar-maid. % This Is
only a common example of the the
misapplication of the term ''lady,
as almost everyone can bear testi-
mony. What housekeeper is there
who has not been told by her own
maid that a lady wanted to see the
woman Of the house, and found that
said lady was a laundress or 4 cook,
or a beggar in search Of cold vict-
uals or cast-off clothes? But think
the acme of quasi pohteness has
been reached by the officials Of the
New York Board Of Charities and
Correction. One of them, whose
duty it is to attend to the wants of
a lot of bedraggled and beery women
who file past his desk, addressed
them occasionally with keep in
line. ladies" or wait your turn,
ladies'" and another, while recently
discussing the case of one Of the
beeriest, most bedraggled and de
graded of her sex, said very earnest
": "What we want to do is to keep
these ladies out Of the poorhouse."
Could anything more clearly demon
strate the abuses into which our
language has fallen?
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1887-04-15
THE WORST OF ALL.

"But if "lady" be Objectionable
"female" is still more so, and for OBJ
vious reasons. We have female suf-
frage and female colleges, and female
clubs. and female education ad libi-
tum, ad nauseum. Why employ the
word "female" when woman" is
meant? DR.. Williamson recently
called the editor of the British Ned
zeal Journal to account for heading
a paper Disorders of Females" He
read it, lie says, expecting to find it
a study in comparative physiology.
And his point is well taken. "Fe-
male" does not apply exclusively to
the human creature. 1t refers to
sex solely, and may mean animal or
even vegetable creation. The very
lowest forms of life are male and
female Therefore let us taboo ''fe-
males" have fewer ''ladies, and
more honest, intelligent, self-respect-
inc "women," who are proud OF the
name and glorify it.

THE LADIES PROTEST.

This feeling exists more IN this
Grade of society than among the
more intelligent classes. Here the
word is fast becoming obsolete, or
at best only rarely used, and then
to designate some peculiar quality.
That this sentiment has long existed
among the higher classes, even in
the roval households of Europe, is
proven by a little story | heard
some years ago. One of Queen Vic
toria's maids of honor complained
bitterly to her Majesty that John
Brown had insulted her. "He called
me a woman" she explained. "And,
pray, what are youY' gravely re-
sponded the Queen. We belong to
a democratic country. Why cling
to this fragment of aristocratic eX-
preston which at best is quasi
genteel and in its present hard
worked condition means absolutely
nothing?

male humankind, there is a tremen-
dous prejudice against it, especially
among worklngwomen Of the inter
mediate class. The saleswomen in
stores are among the greatest stick
lers for their rights in this matter.
Has any one ever known "saleswo,
man" to advertise for a place?
Every paper, however, sets forth the
wants of more or less "salesladies. ."
They may every one of them be
ladies. Are they any the less wo'
men?

WHAT CONSTITUTES A LADY.

1t is quite possible that a cook, or
a chambermaid. or a laundress may
be lady at heart. 1t is also possi-
BILE that the mistress of the house
may be in no sense a lady. And
this brings us to the query: 'What
does the word lady signify To
most of us. If we think about it, it
means q human being OF the female
sex. gifted with culture, refinement
and breeding. We understand ii IN
some way as descriptive Of the kind
Of woman under consideration -
does not mean the costume she
wears. The number of dollars 20
her credit has nothing TO do with IT,,
and it certainly does not apply to
every person who wears a petticoat.
But, Notwithstanding the general
conviction that "lady' conveys pc
culiar meaning, there has long been
tendency, even among well-bred
people, to refer TO every woman, eN-
cept the lowest working class as a
lady.

A THEORY or THE ABUSES ORIGIN.

A THEORY or THE ABUSE ORIGIN.
The custom among domestics Of
clubbing the entire part of female
creation as ladies l have sometimes
attributed to our democratic form
of government. The peasants Of
the Old World never dream Of being
"ladies" in their own country. They
come here where their chance is as
good as any ones one day to ride in
their own coaeh-and-four; they find
others no better than they called
ladies; the word has = pleasant
sound in their untutOred and un
reasoning ears, and they cling to it,
as if by keeping a tight grip they
would sooner reach the coveted posi-
tion. This is a notion of my own,
in which | may be mistaken. Atall
events the practice prevails, partic-
ularly among the class / have meh-
toned. and no amount of reasoning
will be likely to uproot it.

A SENSIBLE AND FRorER TITLE.

But why is there a prejudice
against the term woman: 1t is 4
good Auglo-Saxon word, cOmprehen-
sive and intelligent, and, as under
stand it. carries no reproach with it.
No greater praise can be paid to the
human female than to call her q
.womanlv woman" 1t gives an i'm,
prcssion of q combination of virtues
and graces Of mind and heart that
can be conveyed by no other words.
~ fine woman," "A good woman or
"a PLAIN woman" is quite sufficient
for ordinary usage. The only time
and season when there seems to be
auv real demand for the word lady
is in describing q woman of rare ac-
complishments, elegant manners and
high birth And, after all, it seems
to me that the terms gentlewoman
and lady are Synonymous. The one
is defined as gentle and well-bred.
Does the other mean more or less?
1t does not follow that ''well-bred'
means elegance of manner. The
most suave and polished exterior
may be rotten at the core, and an
unpretentious surface may conceal
the kindness and gentleness of ma
ture without which no man or woman
can deserve the appellation of gen
tleman or lady. But in spite of the
foregone conclusion that woman is a
proper and sensible title for all fe-
